A Cruise Ship Like No Other,

well one that is new to me,


photograph Wikipedia, it is The Himiko, which travels along Sumida River, the river that cuts through Tokyo heading North away from Tokyo Bay, the Himiko can fit 90 people seated and probably a bit more standing, and if you fancy pushing the boat out you can hire it for private parties, the official site and prices are here

photograph Danny Choo, the trip from Toyosu to Asakusa takes about 40 mins and costs 1060 yen for a one way trip, at today's rate, £5.63 or $7.16 the futuristic design of the vessel was by Leiji Matsumoto, what a great way to tour the river in Tokyo.
